Chapter Ninety-Three: The Eve of the Trial
Lu Xu and the others gathered together and stood in two rows, and began to look at each other.
There were nearly 10,000 disciples in the entire Zixiao Sect's Qi refining period, and Lu Xu naturally wouldn't know all of them. Among them, the most familiar is none other than the ten core disciples.
The disciples of the Zixiao Sect who participated in the trial trip this time can really be called strong and strong, and the elite is exhausted, and almost most of them have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period in their cultivation.
The rest of the other disciples are also the ninth layer accounted for the majority, and Lu Xu was one of them.
In the end, there was only one disciple of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period. It is the iron man who is among the top ten core disciples. Think about it, if your cultivation is a little worse, entering the forbidden land is simply looking for death.
According to the previous practice, the number of low-level disciples of the six major sects who could enter the forbidden land could not exceed thirty, and they could only be less than more.
The number of people sent by the six major factions each time is as high as possible, and non-elite disciples cannot join, all of which shows that the sect attaches great importance to trial and medicine collection.
Zixiao Sect is like this, it is conceivable that the lineup sent by other sects will never be bad. Even though he had expected this situation, Lu Xu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
After all the disciples who had participated in the trial had arrived, the two blue-robed monks standing in front of them each walked over with a tray in their hands.
There is a yellow storage bag on a tray on the left, and a small pile of colorful middle-grade spirit stones on the right, it seems that it is time to fulfill the promise made in advance, but no matter how Lu Xu looks at it, it is a bit like the Zhuangxing wine that the heroes of Liangshan generously drank before they died.
Middle-grade spirit stones are generally taken freely according to each person's needs. Lu Xu didn't have any requirements for this, but just randomly selected a few wood-attribute spirit stones.
But when it was their turn to extract the high-grade magic weapon from the storage bag, the expressions of all the disciples became cautious.
Not all immortal cultivators can rely on alchemy in exchange for spirit stones like him, and an ordinary Qi refining stage disciple can be considered extremely rich if he has hundreds of low-level spirit stones on his body. Therefore, if a low-level disciple is not given by the elders of the monks, he will generally not have any good magic weapons on his body, and if he can have a high-grade magic weapon, it will be considered a treasure that everyone covets.
And being able to draw a suitable high-grade magic weapon at this moment will give you an extra chance of surviving in the trial of the six factions, and those disciples who have no savings, especially those who lack magic weapons, are even more concerned about this.
Lu Xu didn't pay much attention to this.
On his last trip to the market, he bought several good things from the Treasure Pavilion, and he got two of the high-grade magic weapons alone, not to mention the one rune treasure.
Adding another high-grade magic weapon would be nothing to excite him.
Because they stood at the end, when Lu Xu stepped forward, most of them had already extracted it, and as for what kind of magic weapon they got, everyone tacitly didn't say it, let alone show it to others.
Lu Xu's hand reached into the bag and grabbed a cyan top-grade flying sword from it, probably because he had read too many sword fairy's movies and novels since he was a child, relatively speaking, he still preferred to use flying swords.
At this time, one of the people behind couldn't wait to come forward, and when Lu Xu saw this, he gave up the place very interestingly and returned to the place where he was staying.
As soon as the extraction of the magic weapon was over, the purple-robed old man standing at the front turned around. This old man is about fifty or sixty years old, but his hair is black, his face is like a heavy jujube, and his tiger eyes are not angry and arrogant.
After his gaze swept over the disciples, Lu Xu immediately felt as if the color of his underwear had been clearly seen by this person, which made Lu Xu feel a little shocked in his heart.
This old man's surname is Huang, and he is the peak master of Xuanqi Peak, and there are several Jindan stage masters and ancestors of Zixiao Sect.
This trial trip was led by Lord Huang Feng, and he was accompanied by four monks from the foundation building period.
Lord Huang Feng didn't say much, he said "go" very neatly, and then opened his hand, and a huge silver flying boat appeared in front of everyone.
"Come on, stand up honestly! The flight speed of my Silver Moon Flying Boat is not ordinary, it only takes three days to get to the place!"
Lord Huang Feng stood at the front of the flying boat and commanded with a calm expression.
In this way, Lu Xu and the others stood on the flying boat in turn, and after three days and three nights in a row, they finally flew to the location of a huge mountain range.
This Huang Feng Lord really didn't brag, the flying speed of this flying boat was indeed amazingly fast, far from being comparable to the flying magic weapons of Lu Xu and other disciples.
When they arrived here, the disciples learned from the mouths of several foundation building period monks that this was the place where they had made an appointment with other sects, and only when the people of the six major sects gathered together would they open the forbidden land together. No sect or faction is allowed to open the prohibition of the forbidden land without authorization.
The agreed time was this evening, but the Zixiao Sect was the first sect to arrive.
Since the time was still early, the disciples dispersed in a hurry after consulting a few uncles in the foundation building period, and went their own way on the mountain to make some final preparations for the imminent death trial.
As a result, some of the thirty black-robed disciples sat cross-legged and recuperated their energy, some took out their magic weapons and kept wiping them, some were dazed and looked preoccupied, and some of the disciples with big hearts looked at the surrounding scenery leisurely, as if they didn't care about the trial.
After Lu Xu looked at the surrounding environment, he planned to meditate cross-legged. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Lu Xu frowned slightly.
"Brother Lu, don't come unharmed. ”
A familiar voice came, which made Lu Xu's frowning brows loosen, but it was He Bing.
"Hehe, Brother He, what's the matter, is there something?" The two were also extremely familiar, Lu Xu touched his nose and said.
He Bing sat down beside Lu Xu, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Hehe, I don't know if Lu Xu has any good plans for the trial? Presumably Brother Lu has also heard about the cruelty of this trial, why don't we discuss it together and think of a countermeasure?"
When Lu Xu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't speak, he knew the other party's intention from hearing He Bing's voice.
The other party wants to form an alliance with himself in the trial of the Netherworld, so that it is much safer, and the chances of surviving will seem to be much greater.
But Lu Xu knows very well that the consequences of doing so have both advantages and disadvantages.
Because people are all gathered together, the area that can be searched is much less, which will cause the discovery of elixir to be pitiful. Moreover, even if some elixirs are found, it is still difficult to say who owns these elixirs in the end! Most of them still decide their ownership by strength. Moreover, he has his own plans for this trial, and he must not be discovered so as not to arouse suspicion.
So even if he knew that He Bing was the only helper he could form an alliance with in this trial, Lu Xu didn't want to do that, lest he not only not get any benefits when he got it, but also had a high chance of stiffening the relationship between the two.
He Bing saw that after he finished speaking, Lu Xu was still silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he couldn't hold his breath and said again:
"What, Brother Lu has another candidate!"
Since he didn't plan to ally with He Bing, Lu Xu simply refused:
"No, but I don't have any plans to form an alliance with anyone this time, if Brother He wants to join forces with someone, let's find other senior brothers!"
Lu Xu spoke very frankly and thoroughly.
After He Bing heard this, he frowned, stared at Lu Xu's eyes for a long time, and saw that he didn't have the slightest intention, so he sighed and got up to leave.
Looking at the direction he left, it was another disciple of the North Peak who was meditating.
Lu Xu smiled slightly when he saw this, this He Bing really looked up to him, and he actually looked for him first, not the senior brother of the same peak.
Lu Xu touched his nose and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
I don't know how long I was settled, but suddenly, Lu Xu felt a commotion from the people around him, as if something had happened!
He couldn't help but look up.
The fellow doors around them all craned their necks and looked towards the horizon on one side, and Lu Xu also looked at it.
I saw a few flickering lights in the blue sky, and gradually grew larger, and after a while, there was an extra black dot.
Below the black dot, the brilliance flickered, as if there was a visitor from outside the sky, falling from the sky.
Seeing this spectacle, the crowd was in a commotion.
"Quiet! What have you become! That's someone from the Yunluo Sect here. Seeing this, a blue-robed middle-aged monk in front of him turned his face sank, and turned around to reprimand a few words.
This worked, and the commotion immediately subsided, of course, with small muttering, and occasionally.
At this time, the black dots were already clear, and they were immortal cultivators in gray robes.
And Lu Xu and the others also saw clearly, but what they were doing was a black flying boat.
When Lu Xu was watching carefully, the black boat had already landed on the mountain with the people of the Yunluo Sect and landed opposite the Zixiao Sect and the others.
A middle-aged monk dressed in white at the head made a slight gesture with his hand, and then the black light flashed, and the black flying boat disappeared.
"I didn't expect that this time it was Brother Huang who led the team, and I was polite!" The white-clothed monk walked in front of Lord Huang Feng in a few steps, and said with a smile on his face, listening to that tone, the two seemed to know each other.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Brother Kong to come, I didn't win or lose the battle thirty years ago, I don't know when I can compete with Brother Kong again?" Huang Feng said unceremoniously with his hands behind his back.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for thirty years, and Brother Huang's desire to win is still so strong. The whitefriar didn't care, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Hmph, each other!"
Lu Xu was watching the two Jindan period monks arguing with taste, and suddenly someone shouted such a voice.
"Look, the people from the Moon Palace are here, it's the Crescent Moon White Aya!"
Lu Xu was taken aback when he heard this, and his eyes looked towards the sky.
A white point of light lit up in the sky, gradually approaching.
Its speed was extremely fast, and soon it reached the sky above the mountain peak, and it was actually a huge white silk with a huge white light mask on it that wrapped the white silk in it.
On the boat, there was a large group of white-clothed men and women, led by a beautiful woman dressed as a young woman, and her every move was full of charm.
The woman, when she dropped the white silk and removed the light mask, opened her red lips slightly and said, "Two Taoist friends, Yueling is polite!"
Lord Huang Feng and the white-clothed monk did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute.
This beautiful young woman walked over slowly, her beautiful eyes flowing, and her body was full of fragrance.
That kind of young woman's style made many of the young male disciples present look straight at it, and they almost drooled.
Lu Xu and the other male disciples of the Zixiao Sect and the Yunluo Sect had already set their eyes on the new large group of female disciples.
They had long heard that the disciples of the Moon Palace advocated the art of double cultivation, and at least half of the disciples recruited should be women, and those who were not of the highest appearance would not be included.
Now that it looks like it is really worthy of its name, this group of women are all charming and beautiful. Watching them, their saliva flowed, and they thought about it.
Soon after, three more monks arrived one after another, but they were from the Iron Sword Sect, the Hundred Beast Sect, and the Kit Kat Sect.
The Iron Sword Gate was all men, all dressed in dark robes, with a long sword on their backs, and their expressions were solemn, as if they were indifferent to everything around them.
The people of the Hundred Beast Sect were wearing beast robes of various colors, and there were a lot of various skins and pockets on their bodies, and there were faint living creatures agitating inside, which made the disciples of other sects feel furious when they saw it.
As for the people of the Kit Kat Sect, they were all dressed in yellow robes, and their outfits were similar to those of the Zixiao Sect.
